In the void, Feng Qingzi watched the surroundings with anticipation. The moment this youngster appeared, he would definitely capture him and give him a severe lesson. How could he dare to take the old man’s belongings? It was simply outrageous.
At this moment, Lin Fan was also watching the situation in the void with a helpless expression. This old man was just too cunning.
Fine, let’s see who can last longer.
Lin Fan lay there motionless, not daring to move even an inch.
For such a powerful cultivator, even the slightest fluctuation in the air could be keenly sensed.
Therefore, for safety, Lin Fan remained completely still, enduring wind and rain without flinching.
Three days passed.
Feng Qingzi never reappeared even once.
Lin Fan began to think that maybe the old man had already left. After all, any person with normal intelligence would assume he had fled and wouldn’t stay in one place, completely motionless.
However, just as Lin Fan was about to get up, a figure suddenly appeared in the void.
When Lin Fan saw this figure, he was startled and immediately lay back down, pretending to be a corpse.
“This old man is truly despicable. He didn’t show himself for several days, and when he finally appears, it’s so shocking,” Lin Fan muttered in disbelief, nearly scared out of his wits.
“Three days have passed. Could it be that he really isn’t here? It seems I have to search elsewhere,” Feng Qingzi said, looking around. His expression appeared more haggard than a few days prior before he once again vanished into the void.
At this moment, Lin Fan suddenly noticed a golden light descending from the void.
That golden light was clearly a storage ring.
“What the hell, this old man is practically tempting me to commit a crime,” Lin Fan muttered, staring at the shining storage ring, utterly speechless.
“What does this old man take me for? Does he really think I’m greedy and insatiable?” Lin Fan thought angrily. This was an outright provocation—leaving without a trace and still trying to trick him one last time.
Even a mighty cultivator like him could drop something? Did he really think Lin Fan was an idiot?
“I’m not going out, absolutely not,” Lin Fan closed his eyes tightly, determined not to be tempted by the storage ring.
Meanwhile, in the void, Feng Qingzi stared intently at the storage ring he had dropped. “Nothing ventured, nothing gained.” He was determined not to leave until he lured the youngster out.
Deep down, he had a feeling that this human youngster hadn’t left yet and was hiding nearby.
This intuition was something he had acquired after reaching the Tenth Heaven God Realm—an instinct that allowed him to sense danger and treasures.
“Hmph, I won’t believe you won’t come out. The moment you do, I’ll slap you hard. What kind of example are you setting, stealing from the elderly?”
Feng Qingzi was furious. The pain of loss was unbearable unless one experienced it personally.
Inside the storage ring that Lin Fan had swiped was a collection of treasures Feng Qingzi had accumulated over thousands of years. Losing it was simply unbearable.
Ten more days passed.
Lin Fan was nearly at his breaking point.
“Where the hell is that old man? Has he even left?” Lin Fan muttered in frustration. “Could it be that the storage ring on the ground was really dropped by accident?”
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Fan decided to wait a little longer. This old man was clearly a master of schemes. The fact that he had been tricked this time was precisely because the old man was too confident in his own strength.
Now, the old man surely wanted to capture him at all costs.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed.
“Feng Qingzi, what are you doing in my territory?” A terrifying, tyrannical aura erupted from the void. This aura was mighty and filled with ferocity.
“This is the aura of Supreme Jie?” Lin Fan’s expression changed abruptly upon sensing it.
“Jie, I came here for something important, and I’m leaving now,” Feng Qingzi replied.
…
“Indeed, this old man hasn’t left,” Lin Fan heard Feng Qingzi’s voice and his heart pounded.
“Damn, this old man is too patient. He actually waited this long.”
“Hmph, coming and going as you please? Stay here!” Supreme Jie’s voice thundered as he attacked instantly, shaking the void.
Feng Qingzi’s figure flickered into view and then fled into the distance.
Boom! Crack!
A fierce battle shook the heavens and earth, eventually moving further and further away into the distant void.
“Unexpectedly, it was Supreme Jie who ended up saving me,” Lin Fan exhaled in relief. If not for Supreme Jie, who knew how long that old man would have continued hiding.
Fortunately, the old man had finally left. At that moment, a golden light blinded Lin Fan’s eyes.
“Ha! The old man forgot to take his storage ring,” Lin Fan thought joyfully.
What was this if not a case of “trying to steal a chicken but losing a handful of rice”? Did he really think Lin Fan was that easy to deal with?
Of course not.
“Struck gold! I’ve really hit the jackpot. Old man, this storage ring you dropped now belongs to me,” Lin Fan immediately stood up and walked toward the storage ring.
However, to be cautious, Lin Fan remained in his hidden state.
Staring at the storage ring, Lin Fan swallowed hard before stretching out his hand.
“Ding! Congratulations on discovering the Greed Prison.”
“Eh?!”
As soon as Lin Fan grabbed the storage ring, the system notification sounded. Upon hearing it, Lin Fan was completely stunned.
“What the hell! The old man tricked me!” Lin Fan exclaimed in shock, immediately trying to throw away the storage ring. However, in an instant, the ring emitted a blinding light, transforming into a prison that trapped Lin Fan inside.
“Earth Release!”
Without hesitation, Lin Fan attempted to遁 into the earth, but he found the ground sealed as if locked, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape.
“Ha… ha…” Suddenly, a cheerful laughter echoed through the heavens and earth.
“Youngster, how do you feel? Have you fallen into my trap?” A figure appeared before Lin Fan. When Lin Fan saw this figure, he was instantly stunned.
Tears quietly flowed down his cheeks.
“There’s always someone stronger.”
“Old man, weren’t you being chased by Supreme Jie?” Lin Fan was on the verge of tears. At the final moment, he had been tricked by this old man again.
“Supreme of the Ancient Race? Did you see him? That was just an aura I imitated. So, do you admit defeat?” Feng Qingzi laughed heartily, all the accumulated frustration of these many days finally dissipating.
“You…” Lin Fan had no words to say. He thought himself cunning, but he never expected this old man’s schemes to be even deeper.
There is always someone stronger in the world. Truly despicable people were indeed numerous.
“Now, are you willing to become my disciple?”
Lin Fan: “…”
